00:00 In the last six years, St George's Park has seen the England team transform from a side
00:04 embarrassed by Iceland to World Cup semi-finalists and European Championship runners-up.
00:09 This revolution has been overseen by Gareth Southgate, once famed for his penalty miss,
00:14 now for his waistcoat.
00:16 But could his tenure be coming to an end?
00:18 Well, that's the suggestion of the Daily Mail's chief football reporter, Sammy Mockbell, who
00:23 has suggested that Southgate could be set to depart after the Euros with the FA considering
00:28 a move for Pep Guardiola.
00:30 Mockbell also mentions that coaches including Eddie Howe and Graeme Potter were discussed
00:35 after the World Cup in Qatar, but the preferred option was Southgate remaining.
00:39 Now, with the possibility of a future without him, the FA are once again open to the idea
00:44 of a non-English manager following the limited successes of Sven-Jørn Eriksson and Fabio
00:49 Capello.
00:50 Should Southgate depart, though, what legacy will he leave?
